OK, I agree with that. This might be the case that a bigger team in not needed at this stage. But what we lack is proper communication is this respect. Investors don't know these nuisances so it has to be properly explained: "we deliberately have a small team and here is their background".

Otherwise they perceive projects like Ethereum as solid and prosperous, whereas Steem can fall into the category of some-brave-guys-working-in-a-garage type of company. Perception matters, even if it's groundless.
